It's the end of the world as you know it – brought to you by a Gnome Mage with big balls of fire

She’s a Cheater, but that’s OK.

You see, as I have mentioned before, Dara and I have been leveling not one alt, but two.

We’d do 5 levels on each, before switching to the other, which allowed us time to get rested XP bonus, and 5 levels is just long enough to get sick of one toon, before switching to the other… and 5 levels on that one was just long enough to get bored doing the same content we did the days before, and then we would switch.

It’s been a bit like Bear and Cassie with their leveling, where they stay together XP wise, so that they ding each level together…

except…

Dara and I are not wife and husband…

and we never dinged together…

and she cheats…

although she will claim I cheat…

which is her justification for her to cheat…

But I don’t mind.

I have given her head starts… 1.5 levels I think was the most, but that wasn’t uncommon…

by the end of the night I would have overtaken her…

which to her was evidence that I was cheating…

which meant she could cheat…

but to me was evidence of my racial superiority (my toons may be Dwarven and Human, but they have the brains of a Gnome).

A few things have dawned on Dara lately.

Gnome knows how to level fast, because he knows where the quest items are from the other 4 characters he’s leveled through here.

If she waits long enough, she has no downtime… cause she doesn’t get off her mount, and I have no downtime.

Mana regen isn’t an issue… if you don’t use it.

Spell power is not increased by agility… but what the hell… Gnome’s doing the killing, so she might as well take the agility upgrade.

It takes her 10 times as long to sort her bags out at the vendor than it takes me, because I have addons for that… whereas she has separate, unsorted, non-autoselling bags.

If she just waits long enough… messages me out of game to verify I am not coming back on… then she can sneak in a few sneaky XP bars.

Rogues are for stealth and poisons… but as Arivina always says “stealth and poisons are optional for rogues… otherwise they would be passive abilities”.

So yeah, I logged on the other day.. told the slacker to log on so we could get the last 5 bars before 85… she logged on… dinged… and I was owned.

The guild thought it was funny…

Dara thought it was funny…

Me… I quietly got my 5 bars in an hour…

Then caught up the 3 levels I was behind her other alt…

But, she’s the cheater!

(Ohh yeah, she messaged me tonight to tell me the server would be down by the time I logged on… do you think she was logged on at the time… cheater!)

I know it’s just a funny coincidence and all, but whenever you mentioned Dara, my mind kept going back to Korean pop singer Sandara Park, who used to be big here in the Philippines before she went back to Korea and teamed up with some other girls to become 2NE1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandara_Park

It’s those funny coincidences that have me still writing years down the track… once the tangent is struck, sometimes you just have to get it out.

needless to say, Dara isn’t her real name… but to call her by her real name risks you being declared a stalker and getting a swift /gkick (with a 1,000g reentry fee)… strange but true (as one guildy discovered recently)

I cheated on Gnome and I liked it.
